law enforcement goes about it. even if if was a lone individual, it's very, very difficult to do these kinds of things in the preparation phase, buying components to do it without being detected by someone such as family, neighbors, and others in the public. so, excellent move. that's part of the massive amount of leads being followed now by law enforcement. >> robert mcfadden, thank you very much for being with us. >>> three people lost their lives here in boston monday right at the finish line. among them, an 8-year-old little boy by the name of martin richard. he was there with his family to watch the marathon. look at them. cnn's gary tuchman has more on the youngest casualty of this tragedy. >> reporter: this is how martin richard will be remembered. the beaming 8-year-old boy holding the sign in a picture taken last year when he participated in a walk to promote peace in inner city boston. the sign declaring no more hurting people and the word peace. this is also how he'll be remembered. as a brother and son.

it so happens the background checks would not affect law-abiding gun owners. i believe in the second amendment. i think there is a right to bear arms and i don't think liberals are right when they say it only applies to malicious, and i was saying that before the heller amendment. on the other hand, this bill only affects people who are felons, who are adjudicated mentally ill, who are spousal abusers. if you're a law-abiding gun owner this isn't going to interfere with your rights but some of these gun organizations, the nra in particular, they can't win on the merits of the arguments so they scare people and that's what they've done here. having said that, if you represent one of these rural states they think if you vouch for this it is going to end up taking away your gun. >> okay. i want to turn to immigration reform because it is obviously why we booked the two of you, a big part of the immigration bill you and the other members of the gang of eight unveiled yesterday is about border security. some people are very skeptical that this actually would beef u

law enforcement sources are sometimes wrong. they want to make it appear that they are on top of case or put pressure on witnesses. >> which is why networks have very strong anonymous sourcing policies. that has to go through editors, through producers. it has to go almost to the top. that's why we don't do it very often. >> we're reaching a point where news organizations need to say on the major points of a criminal investigation as when a suspect has been identified or arrested, the name of a suspect, they need to wait for absolutely official confirmation. either a press conference or a statement. >> but that's tough. >> if you go through these sources, you have law enforcement on the local level, state level and federal level. it's all a mismatch. >> it's really tough. take for example, when the bombing happened. 2:50 in the afternoon, the very first tweet went up on to twitter which said "holy blank, explosion." at 3:40 the boston police confirmed on twitter that there was an explosion. so if you're waiting -- >> obviously,
